About me
The great paradox of the writer’s life is how much time he spends alone trying to connect with other people. ~ Betsy Lerner
I’m a 28-year-old single female living in London, UK.
I currently work as an Administrator in a counselling centre, but I’d prefer to work in a more creative field.
I like photography, listening to music (mostly RnB and pop), and writing. I’d like to become a novelist one day.
I like watching action movies and thrillers, but I hate gory horror films. My favourite film is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
My favourite novel is Chocolat by Joanne Harris. I also love chocolate, cakes and crunchy biscuits.
So far I’ve travelled to Belgium, Egypt, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Holland, Jamaica (x4), Japan, Madeira, North America, and Spain.
I think that monkeys are cute.

I will allow your claim that your favorite book is Chocolat, so long as you admit to hating the movie Chocolat. I’m sorry, but that requirement is non-negotiable. And while we’re on the subject, your favorite movie isn’t Crouching Dragon, Hidden Tiger, it’s Amadeus.
Monkeys are cute, though, I’ll give you that (assuming by “cute” you mean “cool”).

You’re right, I didn’t like Choc the movie. Just changing the antagonist from a priest to a mayor was too much watering down for me. And the rest.
I’ve never even seen Amadeus. so it probably is my fave film.
Monkeys are cute AND cool, so there!![:razz:](/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)

Don’t know what to say, I just typed “Recluse” into google and found this site. Not exactly sure what I was hoping to find but I’m quite surprised at the results.

Be careful with monkeys. they will tear your face off on a whim. Just keep that in mind.

Nevan: are you writing from experience? I’ve no plans to actually get near enough to a monkey for that to happen.

stumbled across your site, I’m really good at wasting time, enjoyed it good luck

You sound like a cool babe! Hello from across the pond.![:wink:](/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

How I found your site do NOT know, when this happens I might as well assign it to yet another result of stumbleupon.com. I sense a familiar/kindred spirit in the ‘recluse wanting to write stuck in a counselling position of sorts…’ It isn’t necessarily soul destroying as another commented, but, it surely can squelch.
And Amadeus over Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Yes. (although, it’s very much an apples and oranges toss up.)
keep writing!

Hi PJ,
On a scale of 1 to 10, how reclusive are you?
scale key:
1 = home body
10 = vampire

Hi Matt: hope that the site is a good timewaster at least.
Angela: thanks and hello to you too.
Ceall: I don’t think I’ve ever seen Amadeus, though I probably should.
Richie Rich: hi, I think I’m probably about an 8.5. How about you?

Hi PJ
Keep up the good work. The world needs more people to write words and more people to read them.
